Helgeandskyrkan

The church was designed by architect Sten Samuelson (working with Robert Larsson of the Malmö firm Jaenecke & Samuelson), who originally envisaged a small, pretty white church with a stepped gable tower. This idea was abandoned in favour of a building considered more fitting for the surrounding new housing estate, resulting in the thick-walled, brutalist brick structure seen today. The building is legally protected as being of cultural-historical value.

Sources differ slightly on the number of windows: one account describes three named openings — the Window of Baptism, the Window of the Word and a 'Window of Heaven' — while another mentions only two, the Window of the Word by the pulpit and the Window of Baptism near the font, with daylight also entering through a gilded dome above the altar. Whatever the precise count, the architect's guiding principle was that nothing in the building should be concealed or false: the floor is patterned tile rather than carpet, and the altar is left bare rather than dressed with cloth.

The entrance is arranged so visitors pass beneath a low organ gallery before the main body of the church opens out above them, an effect intended to make the space feel taller and more imposing. In the porch stands a carved wooden figure of the Good Shepherd, made in Oberammergau. Sources give slightly different totals for the church bells — either 23 or 24 — cast at the Ohlsson bell foundry in Ystad; twenty of them form a carillon on the south facade, while the three largest hang in a separate bell tower (campanile) and are named after phrases from a hymn by J. O. Wallin.

The massive altar is a single block of Carrara marble weighing close to ten tonnes, its natural blue veining left as the only decoration. Above or behind it hangs a large artwork by Robert Nilsson combining copper or gilt-bronze elements with a silver-coloured cross, the one deliberate break from the church's otherwise plain, straight lines. The sandstone font, near the entrance in the medieval tradition of placing baptism at the threshold of the church, was designed by Oscar Reutersvärd using stone quarried at Höör, the same source used for Lund Cathedral centuries earlier; its silver basin was designed by Wiwen Nilsson. A small Mary Chapel in the north-west corner houses a sculpture of Mary from 1984, an altar stone from a former chapel, and an icon donated to the church.

The organ, built in 1972 by Mårtensson's Orgelfabrik in Lund in consultation with then organist Bedrich Janacek, is notable for its horizontal 'Spanish trumpet' pipes forming part of the facade; sources differ on whether it has 20 or 22 stops. A smaller chest organ was added later for use in the choir.
